Product Overview
The Sennheiser 550273 headband padding is a genuine replacement cushion that lets you wear a split-headband design as a single-piece headband on Sennheiser broadcast and communication headsets. This wide split-headband padding is a direct fit for the HD 26 PRO, HMD 26, HMD 27, HMDC 27, HME 27 and HMEC 26, restoring fit and all-shift comfort. As a commercial-grade headset replacement part, it returns units to service without removing hardware from the rack or studio.
Product Description

The 550273 is the wide replacement headband padding for HD 26 PRO studio headphones and the HMD/HME 26 and 27 broadcast headset families. It bridges the two halves of a split headband so the headset wears as a single continuous band, which spreads clamping pressure across a wider area for operators on long broadcast, intercom and production shifts. Because broadcast headsets see heavy daily handling, the contact padding is typically the first component to wear; this part lets an AV or facilities team refresh a headset in minutes rather than retiring it.
Installation is tool-free and the padding seats onto the existing headband bridge, making it well suited to bulk maintenance of headset fleets in broadcast studios and commercial communication rooms. Sourcing the genuine Sennheiser HMD 27 headband cushion preserves the original fit and weight distribution, which matters when headsets are shared across shifts. Order the wide split-headband padding alongside replacement ear pads to fully recondition a headset in a single service pass.
